“The credibility of these congressmen you mentioned has been ruined and they have no integrity,” Zhao Lijian replied.

The politicization of economic and trade issues by the United States runs counter to its ever-heralded principles of market economy and fair competition, and violates the rules of international trade.

Zhao Lijian pointed out that Chinese companies have always adhered to operate in accordance with the laws and regulations, and strictly abide by the laws and regulations of the host country in their international operations. The United States should end its misconduct of abusing national power and generalize the concept of national security to repress foreign companies.
“Individual American politicians adhere to the Cold War mindset and ideological biases, and they are willing to exaggerate and exaggerate the so-called China challenge and China threat theory. China strongly opposes this.” Zhao Lijian said that containment and repression will not prevent China from developing and growing, but will only undermine the mutual trust and cooperation between China and the United States. Intensifying the conflicts between China and the United States will only make the Chinese people more united and build a stronger China. If the United States insists on going its own way, China will take strong measures to safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests.
